APPETIZER

Big tech meets big pizza 🍕 🤖❓

Microsoft’s been clingy lately.

A week ago, Microsoft partnered with Snapchat to offer sponsored ads in Snapchat’s “My AI” chatbot.

Two days ago, it partnered with Domino’s to develop AI to enhance operations and customer service.

Like, the pizza company? Yes, the pizza company.

Don't sleep on Domino's, they are surprisingly tech-savvy and have at times outperformed a large majority of tech companies on the stock market.

I could eat pizza, why read about it..?

It’s not just the pizza, Domino’s will integrate AI into every aspect of its business model.

So, what’s the point?

• To improve the ordering process

• To create AI assistants for store managers

• To make tools to enhance food prep and more.

• To create an “Innovation Lab” with company leaders and engineers to develop new tech and processes.

Our take: The good is that this AI streamlines taking orders, back-end operations, customer recommendations, and more. The bad is that it could eventually lead to job losses.

Either way, the AI wars wage on, and Microsoft’s strategy seems to be to gather as many partnerships as possible.

MAIN COURSE

Bing Chat and DALL-E 3’s spicy fling 👩‍❤️‍👨 ❤️‍🔥

Two weeks ago, we covered OpenAI’s latest text-to-image tool — DALL-E 3. It generates images with faces, hands, and text, and uses ChatGPT, so you can input better prompts.

Fast-forward to two days ago, Microsoft shoved DALL-E 3 into Bing Chat. Could this be love?

So, it’s in Bing Chat. Who cares..? 

You can use DALL-E 3 for free, right now, in both Bing Chat and Bing Image Creator. You can access it before it comes to ChatGPT’s paying customers later this month.

Did you say “free?”

Our take: If you told us last month that Microsoft would have the most popular image-generation tool, we’d have laughed in your face. Now? We might actually use Bing.

Dope pics you can make:

A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA

Magic AI, magic AI everywhere 🎩 🪄 🐇

Is it AI, or is it magic?

Last month, eBay released its “magical” AI tool. It’s an AI tool for sellers that generates a product listing from a single photo.

Hopping on the bandwagon, Canva launched Magic Studio. It’s a suite of AI-powered design tools.

Magic Studio beefs up Canva with new AI features like Magic Design, Magic Design for Video, Magic Switch, and Magic Write.

The magical deets:

• Magic Design allows you to quickly create design elements via text prompts.

• Magic Design for Video is a new video creation tool via a partnership with Runway’s Gen2 AI tech.

• Magic Switch allows you to take a design into different layouts, styles, and languages. 

• Magic Write provides you with copywriting assistance tailored to your brand voice.

Should I jump on this? Well, Adobe released similar features into Express over two months ago. While these features aren’t groundbreaking, having them all in one place is very convenient.

With many of these features available for free and more available for around $15 a month, this is a pretty good option if you’re looking for intuitive, AI-powered graphic design.
